#11742 [Com]: Escaping quotes gets out of hand

ID: 11742 Comment by: asif at bandxusa dot com Reported By: cheapsalsa at yahoo dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Red Hat Linux 7.0 Standard PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Try using the stripslashes function before placing the value back into the form...It should take care of your issue. You're probably using mysql_escape_string...the stripslashes shoudl take care of it.

When I need to edit the news, the program rewrites the whole news file, whether a news story got edited or not. Sometimes I have to include quotes like ' or ". The first time I post the news they look like \' \" (with one backslash). After I edited the news a couple of times it can get out of hand, and the quotes look like \\\\\\\\\\\\' or \\\\\\\\\\\\" . This looks really bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11742&edit=1
